Well you need to l2p! 

But, seriously I mainly only like it on the human soldier and the Quarian marksman!

Personally I find the Piranha to be the best overall shotgun. I even like it better then Reegar+ Incendiary and miles better then Claymore.

I find claymore to be one of the most overrated weapons in the game. Still a great gun, dont get me wrong, just overrated.

Nah, Sirian's gone and Annomander doesn't post that much anymore. Would've been delicious back in the day.

The Claymore is just a really well balanced weapon. It has such awesome power in each shot, but those shots are slowed enough that its DPS is good without being gamebreaking; it's got the right weight and rarity for its power; and it's got a pretty decent effective range for a shotgun. IMO it's one of the few weapons in the game that really got the balance just right.

Are there better shotguns? Sure. And they tend to have 'lol' prefixed to their name due to how facerollingly overpowered they are.

This should've been used for the BOTB banner.

I've had the pleasure of witnessing that.


We both were rocking the Claymoar that game! You did awesome as well.

It's over hyped because we see in just about ever build discussion of any class in the game a few posts talking about just slapping the claymore on that class and wrecking everything. As for the Reegar, one of it's main draw backs that being ammo capacity is something you really do have to deal with where as the claymores supposed big draw back for a heavy gun that hits like a mule is negated by clever use of mechanics.

In the end it comes down to players style as well. Like one of the posters above I use the Pirhana more than other shotguns. I use the Claymore the odd time. The one gun that mystifies me is the Wraith, some games I use it with great effect, other games I can't hit the broad side of a barn.

The one thing I am great at is feeding my friends to the Crab. I can give lessons on that!!:o

Cannot believe I saved Akula from that feeding last night. I did all the hard work of running in there to revive him, just to shoot my Venom, and the Crab release his "grip" on his Turian!!

I know....especially since you pointed out how Turians prefer to be violated by the Crabs. :lol:

I think it's second only to the Reegar. I greatly prefer it over the Wraith personally... and I'm talking about performance... nevermind the fact that it has absolutely fantastic feel. I can reload cancel it as good as anyone on PC... but with the Wraith, I am saddled with that damn refire delay before I can reload/fire the second shot.

If we're talking about great shotguns... I'd be talking about Reegar, Claymore and Venom personally...


Seriously dude, you are going to have to teach me how to use it.  I just cannot seem to get it down.  :(

And I feel ya on the refire delay.  It's relay noticeable when you play with a Raider then switch over to the Wraith.


You know where to find me Image IPB

Don't be shy with the invites... and you can always ninja join my parties.

Let's just say... the "A" button is your friend when it comes to reload cancelling. I don't use powers to reload cancel except Cloak and Reave... the "A" button works for everyone. When I watch PC videos of them quickly reload cancelling then hipfiring it with superb accuracy... I say to myself "I can do that!" Image IPB

Crusader > Claymore


For killing bosses... yes... for killing mooks, no. Claymore does both very well.

The main thing I love about the Claymore is the limited exposure time... you pop out, blast something, then retreat while reload cancelling, or move forward toward the next target. Really helps on the GI with 3 points in fitness and no Cyclonic...
